Río Lagartos is a great place to begin your adventure!
Though officially established during the Maya Caste War, Rio Lagartos has a much more ancient history, important as a stopping point along the Maya Gulf trade route, it was a favorite location to rest and eat- today the town is a small fishing village with a tranquil atmosphere with a community centered around sustaining its unique traditions while still inviting visitors to enjoy the natural wonders nearby. You will find lodging, many excellent eating establishments and at least one store on every street to provide your day to day needs. The thriving capital of Merida is less than a two hour drive to the east, Tizimin a 30 minute drive to the south. Chichen Itza and many other ruins are located within a two hour drive.

Rio Lagartos has a peaceful, family-oriented atmosphere. A great alternative to the typical hustle-bustle of many tourist destinations. The numbers of tourists are small and there is never a long wait to take a boat ride anywhere you desire throughout the reserve- and beyond!
